Youngest son graduated HS yesterday

[junkman_56]

Well yesterday was another momentous day in the life of a parent.
My youngest son graduated from High School as an Honor Student.
I’m so very of him. In the fall he will be attending Virginia Tech and was accepted into their Engineering department.

At the end of the day when everyone had left and my son headed off to the graduation parties, I sat with down with a GOF Carlito 2005, a couple fingers of good bourbon and thought about the long strange road that has brought me to this point in my life.

It’s amazing how fast they grow up.
All you guys with young kids, work hard to spend as much time with you children as you can. I did and it has been a remarkable journey.

Congrats!!!! :thumbs:

Always a good idea to stay on their good side. They're the ones who eventually pick out the nursing home.

Nice job Carl. I've got a few years before this, but the past 3 has flown by and I can imagine the next 15 will as well. Thanks for the advice.

Congrats to all on the accomplishment and acceptance to VT.

I agree with spending every available hour with them, as they do grow up too fast.

Congratulations, Carl. It sounds like he has a bright future ahead of him and that is in no small part because of the guidance his parents have provided.

I remember that day. Oddly enough I found a picture of my HS graduation while looking through some photo albums in a closet at my parents house. I had some monstrous cigar hanging out of my mouth in the picture :laugh: Congrats on a special day! :thumbs:
